“But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones,” Jeremiah 20:9 states.

That’s because tonight will mark the 39th service of a revival that Second Baptist Church of Great Fall originally scheduled for seven days. Williams said God is on fire and moving in the midst of the tight-knit community.

If you happened to be on Main Street last Thursday afternoon, you would have seen me and photographer Aaron Morrison try a stunt that the late Pierce Horton Sr. of the Corner Drug Store did more than 60 years ago.

We were trying to see if it was hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk.

It was a sound that brought summer to a halt along every Erwin Farm street. If we were racing our home-made, human-powered go-carts made from worn-out mower wheels, discarded lumber, rope steering and axles fashioned from metal rods discovered in a pile of rubbish from the old mill trash pile off Laurel Avenue, this sound would bring out a red flag as it drew closer and closer.

During summer months, days are longer and more people are outside for longer periods of time, increasing the health risks from heat exhaustion and overexposure to the sun.
Each year, more Americans on average die from heat waves than from any other natural disaster.
And every hour, one person dies from skin cancer, which is the most common occurring cancer in the Unied States.Staying cool

They include earning an education degree from the University of Memphis and becoming a teacher and high school softball coach and possibly, one day, a principal.

But should that plan go awry, the Cordova, Tenn., native does have a back-up.

For now, she has a 1,300-pound winged sprint car with a 360-cubic, 700-horsepower engine and a pair of racing gloves to fall back on. Later on, if she continues to grow and develop, that could mean NASCAR.

They have a wholesalers license and their product is certified as a South Carolina product. In fact, Barbara Lyles and Barbara Hilton even have a certificate from the Department of Homeland Security.

“We are certified as not being terrorists,” Lyles said.

Their product is made in South Carolina and they are licensed to sell. Homeland Security might want to rethink their designation, though, because the cheesecakes Lyles and Hilton make in their small business are definitely “the bomb.”
